Hello and welcome.
This is a guided meditation on acceptance and allowing.
I invite you to find a comfortable position either seated or lying down and close down your eyes.
I invite you to begin by taking a deep breath in through the nose and open the mouth to release.
Let's do that again.
Inhaling from the nose,
Fill up completely and let go.
One more time.
Inhaling,
Filling up completely,
Holding it for a moment and then really,
Really sigh it out.
Let it go.
To begin this meditation,
I invite you to first say inside your mind the word yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Notice how you feel inside when you think and feel yes.
Now I invite you to say the word no inside your mind.
No.
No.
No.
Notice how you feel when you say no.
Perhaps there's a tightness,
A clenching.
As we move through our day,
Everything that comes across our path creates an energy of either yes or no inside the body,
Inside the mind.
When we come across something that makes us yes,
We typically feel open,
More joyful,
More at ease.
But when something comes along and we feel a no,
That often results in feelings of tightness,
Tension,
Dissatisfaction,
Resistance,
Fear or anger.
So throughout this meditation,
We're going to see if we can say yes to our lives,
Say yes to all that we are.
